Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH Renews Old Problem of Rhine Fortifications e Always Played Big Part in European Politics. Washington. Germanys new military program, which defies the Versailles treaty, renews the old problem of Rhineland fortifications, and again brings into the news a fertile valley which has so often been an economic and political frontier. According to the terms of the treaty Germany was allowed to retain the left bank of the Rhine providing it was completely demilitarized. Military occupations of this zone (from 1918 to 1930) by American, French, and British forces insured Germanys fulfillment of her agreement The Rhine has always played an important part in European politics, says the National Geographic society. A glance at the map shows many of the most famous Rhine towns standing on the left bank of the river. This is because the Rhine1 was once a frontier of Roman civilization, and it was on the west side that Roman strongholds were established. Today, starting near its source, the river marks the boundary first between Switzerland and Liechtenstein, then Switzerland and Austria, Switzerland and Germany, and finally Germany and France. Important Waterway. "Flowing from south to north, the Rhine is one of Europes chief waterways. With its numerous tributaries it drains one of the most densely populated regions of Europe, a country rich in minerals and intensively cultivated. It reaches the North sea coast opposite London, thus connecting with British shipping, and forming a natural outlet for Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Canals join the Rhine from the Rhone, the Marne, and the Danube. It is navigable without interruption from Basle to the sea, a distance of S50 miles. steamers can ascend as far as Cologne, where cargoes are transferred to river boats, but only small craft can navigate the upper Rhine above Spires. Since the Versailles treaty the Rhine has become an international waterway open to ships of all nations. Although it rises in the Swiss Alps d and enters the North sea through territory, to the Germans the Rhine is their national river. It is firmly woven Into their history, their art, their music, and their literature. A boat trip down this stream is a journey through Germanys past as .well as her present. The Rhine enters the Rift valley at Basle, flowing north between the ranges of the Vosges and the Black forest. At Mainz, where the Main ens ters the Rhine, the slopes of the hills turn the river westward until it reaches Bingen. Between Bingen and Bonn it winds through the narrow Rhine gorge beneath high cliffs adorned with ancient castles or steeply terraced vineyards. Ocean-goin- of the Moselle from the west and the Lahn from the east Coblenz Is built on a triangle of land between the Moselle and the Rhine. The Romans called It Confluentes. During the occupation of the Rhineland by the allies after the World war it was headquarters for the American division. On a rocky precipice across the Rhine is the old fortress of Ehrenbreitstein, an important stronghold since medieval days. Bonn is famous as Beethovens birthplace, and as the seat of an ancient university. Beyond Bonn the Rhine swings north and then west through a wide plain. Cologne (Koln), third city of Germany, is a busy port, trading in grain, wine, ores, coal, and timber. Above a sea of city roofs soar the twin spires of the Cologne cathedral, each nearly as tall as the Washington monument. Industry and commerce crowd out natural beauty along the lower Rhine. Dusseldorf is an important manufacturing town, noisy with factories and great steel and iron works. It is particularly noted for its dyeing industries, and also as the birthplace of Heinrich Heine. Duisburg, at the point where the Ruhr joins the Rhine, is one Hunters Get Best of Mountain Lions Sacramento, Calif. Predatory animal hunters are getting the best of mountain lions in California. Only 215 lion scalps were turned in for bounty last year, compared with an average of 270 for the past several years. Instead of believing hunters were losing their aim, officials of the state fish and game division said here that there was reason to believe that In nearly all parts of the lion country, hunters were winning out in their long battle to rid the ranges of the stock killers. The best evidence Is the increased percentage of females turned In for bounty, one official said. Last year female lions constituted 57 per cent of the kill. of the most extensive river ports in the world. It is a chief center of the German steel industry, and commercial gateway for the coal and Iron shipped out of the Ruhr. Incidentally it was once the home of Mercator, the great map maker. Coal smoke and machinery have failed to destroy the legends of the past. Siegfried was supposedly born at Xanten, near the Netherlands border, and at Cleves, Lohengrin, the knight of Wagners opera, rescued the beautiful Elsa. Germanys New Streamlined Locomotive If ice water. you have the orange and tomato lowing them to stand in Juice habit which has swept the country in the last few years, you are probably getting your quota of vitamin C, which is found widely distributed among fruits and vegetables. The citrus fruits, cabbage, lettuce, spinach and tomatoes, both raw and canned, are particularly well supplied with this vitamin. Pineapples, apples, bananas, raspberries and strawberries, string beans, carrots, turnips, beans, peas, potatoes and radishes give us almost as liberal a contribution. Because sometimes the vitamin C content Is injured during cooking, it is fortunate that most of these foods are delectable In their raw state. Both tomatoes and pineapples, however, because of their natural acids, keep their full content after cooking. This enables us to use these canned products with full confidence in their vitamin G supply. When this vitamin is very low or absent, as has been the case in war times or on long voyages away from the source of the fresh food supply, the disease known as scurvy may afflict the community or the crew. Old records show that limes, lemons and potatoes were known as scurvy preventives and cures generations before the existence of vitamin O was recognized. While acute scurvy is seldom or never seen In this country, a which recondition of tards the growth and the 'formation of good teeth has been found in cases The of undernourished children. symptoms are loss of appetite, sore mouth and tenderness of the Joints. Some of the "growing pains which were supposed to have been a natural affliction of childhood may have been caused by a chronic case of mild scurvy. Plenty of fruits for breakfast, the use of vegetables and fruits liberally at the other meals in the form of salads and desserts, will provide us pleasantly with the essential vitamin C.

FOR ANOTHERS CRIME In preparing the restoration of this animal, Doctors Granger and Gregory studied some 200 Baluchitherium bones which represented about 20 animals of varying sizes. In no case, however, were there enough bones to make a complete skeleton. This disappointment was largely offset by the presence of enough material to furnish an accurate yardstick which, after months of research, provided a picture of this super-beaof the past The restoration now completed at the museum visualizes an animal that was 17 feet 9 inches tall at the shoulders and almost 30 feet long and weighing in the neighborhood of 20,000 pounds, that looked like a rhinoceros under a magnifying glass a rhinoceros that lacked the horns of the present-da- y rhino.
